Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 148

148.Chapter 148

Jennifer disagreed, “Is cooking stressing you out that much? Enough to make you think about telling him the truth?”

Teresa shook her head. “It’s not just about cooking. I just feel like I can’t do this alone. Mike really likes him and Jonathan… well, has been great to Mike, even without knowing he’s his son. Whenever we talk about Mike, the guilt eats me up inside. So I’ve been thinking, maybe I should tell him. Keeping it a secret might have been a mistake.”

Jennifer frowned and said, “It’s not a mistake. You absolutely can’t tell him. Think about his mother. She would definitely fight you for custody, and that would hurt Mike.”

Teresa bit her lip, unable to refute.

She wanted to tell the truth because of Michael, but also Jonathan. However, the fear of losing her child made her conflicted.

She confided in Jennifer, trusting her as a wise, older sister figure who could offer guidance.

Jennifer saw through her thoughts and sighed, giving Teresa’s arm a gentle squeeze.

“I don’t get it. You said you weren’t going back to him. Don’t let your feelings trip you up.. You weren’t happy in that relationship, so why go back? You can’t live your life like your mom. Is that what you want? Having two kids in quick succession, then getting pregnant again at fifty? Don’t you think a woman can live a fulfilling life without a man?” Jennifer asked.

Teresa was puzzled. “How do you know my mother has three kids?”

Jennifer explained calmly, “You told me, remember? On New Year’s Eve.”

“Did I? I don’t remember saying that, but maybe I did, Teresa thought.

Jennifer held Teresa’s hand. “Listen, don’t tell Jonathan or his family. It’s better to keep quiet and start fresh in a new city.

Jennifer’s desire to take Teresa and Michael away from Nareigh had never wavered.

She longed for a fresh start, but even more so for Teresa. Hence, she didn’t want Teresa to let her emotions cloud her judgment.

All the while, she was waiting for the right moment to tell Teresa about herself.

She wondered how Teresa would react when she found out that Jennifer was actually her long–lost sister, Hannah. Part of her was eager to reunite with Teresa as sisters, but another part was fearful it might overwhelm Teresa. She also worried that Teresa might not believe her.

“I can’t leave Nareigh right now,” Teresa said. “I still have responsibilities at Teresouth Group, and I can’t just walk away. If I were to leave, it would have to be once the company is stable.”

She added, “I’ll need to hire a nanny. I’m not great at cooking, but I can’t let my child suffer because of it. Before, I couldn’t afford it, but that’s not the case anymore. My main concern now is finding someone trustworthy. What if the person I hire mistreats him?”

The news was

filled with heartbreaking stories of nannies mistreating children, which made Teresa even more wary. She didn’t have the right connections to find someone reliable, and the thought of hiring a complete stranger made her hesitant.

Jennifer paused for a moment before suggesting, “What if I moved in with you?”

Teresa blinked in surprise.

She explained, “Actually, my lease at Golden Residence is up. If you don’t mind, I could move in and cook for both of you.”

“Sure!” Teresa happily agreed.

Living with Jennifer would definitely put her at ease.

Teresa said, “I used to stay with a colleague. We got along well, but she’s got a boyfriend now. She’ll be back after the holidays, but she’ll probably move in with him. I‘ ve been thinking about finding a new roommate, someone who can help look after

Mike when I’m not home.”

Jennifer smiled, “I see. You should’ve said so earlier! I was worried you So, how much is the monthly rent? I’ll transfer it to you now.”

“Nothing special.” Jennifer ordered another cup of coffee, offering it to him. “Here, this one’s for
